Volume 12 Interlude 6: Leisure Travel Chapter 26: The Dimension of Mental Imagery—The Thrilling Forehead-Tapping Contest!
"The rules of this dimensional world are so special." After Lu Bai arrived, he felt that the rules of this world had many private settings and were very different from the mainstream dimensional worlds.
This is also an experience that Lu Bai does not have.
Even when he traveled to other dimensions before, he always tried to choose dimensional worlds with a high degree of overlap in basic rules.
But now, this dimensional world is completely different, and its basic rules have changed.
Lu Bai looked around and found that although the style here was very different, its essence was not much different from human society.
"In fact, it was my overly powerful mental power that had an impact on the world, causing the world to face my side and show the scene I wanted to show."
“This is the special cosmic form—between mental images.”
There are countless phases between mental images, and nearly every life that has mental images has some phases.
These countless phases overlap to form the current dimensional world.
So, Lu Bai saw a thing - a flower, which is a plant with roots, leaves, petals, etc.
However, another native individual in this dimensional world saw a "flower". It might be an animal with a long body, independent feet, many arms, and ferocious mouthparts.
All in all, the way everyone in this world views the world and the feedback they receive from the world are extremely huge.
However, because the mental images overlap, everyone can have a unified understanding of the same thing.
Even though Lu Bai and the original person have completely different understandings of flowers and the feedback they receive, once they communicate and talk about "flowers", they are actually communicating about the same thing.
"This world is quite interesting."
Just as Lu Bai was observing this world, suddenly, a person riding a bicycle in the distance... at least in Lu Bai's current eyes, a person riding a bicycle, a rising star, was rushing towards Lu Bai.
"Go away, don't block the road!"
"Most parts of the body are the same as those of humans. In other words, the functions of these things are actually similar, so the mental image can provide this kind of feedback."
"But his head has something similar to a stratum corneum. So, is it only the head that is different from that of a normal human?"
"What are you looking at!" At this moment, the individual on the cyclist saw that Lu Bai did not give way and kept looking at him. He immediately got angry and issued a challenge to a duel.
"What are you looking at?" Lu Bai naturally would not tolerate it, so he responded to the invitation directly.
So, the man got off the bicycle and stood opposite Lu Bai.
Suddenly, Lu Bai felt that some kind of rules were activated, and they sat on both sides of Lu Bai and the other party.
At the same time, other people around also immediately looked here.
"There's a duel!!"
"Look at your smooth forehead. How dare a weakling like you have the courage to duel with me!"
"Then I'll let you go first... Hahahaha, do you think I will let you go first? Give up. Treating every duelist fairly is the family motto of our Nangong family!" The man on the cyclist said, and suddenly his body shape changed. He rushed towards Lu Bai quickly, and at the same time, he pressed his thumb on his middle finger, forming a special handprint.
"Take it !" The opponent approached quickly, and Lu Bai felt that he could not fight back at this moment. This was the limitation of the rules.
Lu Bai discovered that if he followed the rules purely, he seemed to only be able to dodge when the opponent's move came and seized the opportunity at that moment.
The target of the other party's gesture was his forehead.
At the same time, a voice with a broadcasting tone came into Lu Bai's ears .
"In nature, antelope, bighorn sheep, bulls and other creatures with horns often butt each other over competition for territory, mating rights, etc."
"This is the way of competition in life!!!" The announcer's voice suddenly became passionate, as if explaining something extraordinary.
"And the duel that evolved from the ramming is the necessary means for us to fight for all the resources for survival."
"This is a professional commentary for those who are participating in a duel for the first time. Please enjoy the fun of the duel!"
As we all know, there will be time stops during commentary, and this is also the case now.
Then the professional commentator came on stage.
"Very good. Our contestant Nangong Wudi was in a hurry to register for the duel competition, so he had a conflict with an unknown guy standing in the middle of the road."
"Nangong Wudi, the third young master of the Nangong family, is the worst of the worst. He has set a record of ninety-nine consecutive defeats, and his fiancée broke off the engagement some time ago."
"However, during this period, he worked hard to wash away the shame, and finally won the right to participate in the world's number one duel competition, ready to avenge his previous shame!"
"Nangong has made a move. The Nangong family's signature secret technique - first-hand attack, is a powerful secret technique that can always gain the upper hand in a duel!!!"
“Oh oh oh oh oh, Nangong Nangong, I want to give birth to a baby for you!!!” Enthusiastic shouts from the audience outside the venue also came.
"Now everything depends on how our unknown guy who blocked our way will respond."
“Closer, closer!”
As Lu Bai listened to the commentary, he just felt that he was too excited. Isn't this so-called duel competition just a forehead-popping competition?
Just a flick on the forehead made it look like the top of the Forbidden City.
Of course, to the people in this world, this duel is essentially no different.
In the next moment, the opponent's middle finger shot out from under the thumb and went straight to Lu Bai's forehead.
"This flick of the finger is like Mars hitting the earth. The sky will be shattered by this flick of the finger, and the avenue will be pierced by it!"
"Our nameless guy who was blocking the road dodged. He dodged. He dodged. He successfully dodged Nangong Wudi's finger flick!"
"What!" A sudden and inexplicable commentary voice sounded as if something shocking had been discovered.
"The nameless guy who blocked the road counterattacked the moment he dodged. This is a high-level duel technique - parry!!"
"This technique allows you to seize the fleeting opportunity to counterattack the enemy when you dodge/block the enemy's attack!"
"I didn't expect that our little brother actually mastered this advanced duel technique..."
As Lu Bai listened to the commentary, he always felt something was strange. At that moment, he felt that the rules that bound him from attacking had loosened, so he fought back.
Of course, the only way to counterattack is to hit someone on the forehead.
With a slight flick, Nangong Wudi rolled out, and a red mark appeared on his forehead.
"How is this possible!" Nangong Wudi fell to his knees, his eyes filled with tears and his face covered with snot.
"I clearly promised that I wouldn't lose again!"
It was at this time that a series of phantoms appeared around Nangong Wudi like a revolving lantern.
"It brings back memories!!" The commentator was particularly excited at this time, and his voice seemed to be able to penetrate time and space.
"Through the process of reminiscing, people can strengthen their own strength, unleash their own potential, and at the same time revive their own ambitions!"
"It's a rare counter-killing skill. I didn't expect Nangong Wudi to have mastered this skill!"
"It's a bit outrageous." Lu Bai felt that he could move at this time. In other words, it was his turn now.
"Then, attack!" Lu Bai thought about it and decided to follow the local customs, so he held down his middle finger and rushed towards Nangong Wudi.
He wasn't doing anything special now, not even using his internal energy, it was just like he was playing and shooting at the target's forehead.
"The young contestant has made a move. He is extremely fast, like a bolt of lightning. In a flash, he is in front of Nangong Wudi. He is about to attack!"
"What kind of attack is this? It seems that Nangong Wudi has no time to dodge. So, can his forehead, which has been strengthened by the memory killing, defend against this attack?"
Well, although Lu Bai’s speed is very fast, it is still not faster than the commentator’s speaking speed.
At this time, Nangong Wudi stood up... Well, don't question why when Lu Bai launched the attack before, he was still kneeling on the ground recalling the attack, but now when the attack came, he stood up and prepared to accept the attack.
Because this world is a world of mental images, perhaps the other party's true form does not have any problems in this regard.
Lu Bai and Nangong Wudi looked at each other, their gazes conveying pressure.
The opponent seemed to want to use this to see through Lu Bai's attack timing.
"Forget it, now that we understand the general rules, let's end this battle!" As soon as Lu Bai's thoughts changed, Nangong Wudi on the other side responded.
He instinctively tilted his head back, but what awaited him was Lu Baishen's longer arm, followed by a flick of his finger, which landed on Nangong Wudi's forehead.
Suddenly, a big bump appeared on the opponent's forehead, and at this time, the commentator also conveyed it.
"Win, win! The winner is our roadblocking unknown guy contestant."
"He successfully defeated Nangong Wudi and qualified for the World's No. 1 Duel Tournament!"
“You can sign up now.”
"As for our contestant Nangong Wudi, he can only challenge another person who has a registration quota."
"Then today's duel ends here!"
As the commentary disappeared, the rules that were entangled around the two people also disappeared.
Lu Bai turned around and was about to leave.
At this time, Nangong Wudi, who was lying on the ground, raised his head, looked at Lu Bai and said, "Your name!"
"Tell me your name!"
"I will participate in the world's best duel, and I won't lose again!"
"Lu Bai." Lu Bai left his name with interest, while sensing the changes in his body.
After winning the duel just now, he felt that some kind of power was improving everything about him. Although it was very weak, it was definitely an improvement.
At the same time, the same thing happened to Nangong Wudi.
A force acted on him, increasing his strength and speed.
"Wait for me, Lu Bai!"
